ExudeLoveToAll: Simple. Working over here is on a per hour basis. Even if there's nothing to do, you have to look for something to do. You don't sit there doing nothing. Same thing goes for the remote jobs. Theres no play time here. Unless she got the job through an agent (under an agency) could she be dismissed for clumsy reasons |

We cant be timid o...I remember seeing all our Nigerian folks naming their children American names...cos Americans cant pronounce Nigerian names. I was livid. Do they change their own names for us, no? I named my daughter my Yoruba name...she wanted to use middle name to help the teachers cos it is in English...I told her...teach them how to pronounce your name...that is your official name. Now, everyone calls her by her name .... OLUWATOSIN. You cannot conform...everyone must meet in the middle. I learn your culture, you learn mine. When we remain timid, we set a precedent for future generations. We can correct without being disrespectful. studyless123: |

Re: Nigerian Lady Fired From New Job In Canada For Saying Sorry Too Much by planetx: 5:51pm On Feb 06 |
You were fired not for saying sorry but because they know there are thousands of desperate immigrants in Canada to replace you. Simple law of demand and supply, same as in the UK. |

Whereas in Nigeria if you don't say sorry, you lack home training. |

thesicilian:You are just trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cape Coast in South Africa all speak English as a native language. Secondly, was it not another Nigerian that was sacked in England for praying for a patient. |
Re: Nigerian Lady Fired From New Job In Canada For Saying Sorry Too Much by MamaletASO: 6:13pm On Feb 06 |
Nonsense! Since you don't speak correct English, then u will be fired. An average Nigerian that wanted to sit beside you will say... Sorry I want to sit down Instead of "Excuse me, can I sit with you?"

MasterTeeUSA: It's a lost battle. Colonization have left many of us with ethnic and cultural inferiority. Many Nigerians don't have intellectual perseverance/courage and so they easily give in to be seen as adaptable. Unfortunately we can't help the situation. Like the example you gave, I know individuals who gave themselves and English names for ease of pronunciation . Ironically I promoted my Nigerian name and taught them how to pronounce it, they're always excited, teaching them the missing English sounds and making a recording of my name so that they can have it on their cell phones. When I was an executive of Black affinity groups. I also fought for diversity and inclusion. Anywhere I go I teach and promote my culture and refer them to resources where they can get more information. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It's not about unlearning and relearning... May be you missed that while in school Sorry is an apology...u only say sorry for sumtin u directly did wrong, we r fond of saying sorry even to an accident victim or someone who lost a loved one. The best u can say is ... it's a pity, take heart, be strong , you will be fine In d western world, you only say sorry when u did sumtin wrong or when u r at fault...even if u r accused of being at fault by ur friend, lover, partner, jst say sorry...dnt argue like 9ja women |

My Man...just for this.. I have followed you. Both of my children have Nigerian Names...like why would I need to adapt to you? The clothes I wear to work is what I will wear in Nigeria...even when my students had their Senior Party, I went in my Agbada...that is not to say we should not adapt, but we must not lose ourselves in the process. My students ask about Nigeria every time, because they know I travel to my beloved country...I have done my best to break so many stereotype. That is what we should do...enlighten, inform and educate cos really, they can be ignorant. studyless123: |

superCleanworks: I really don't notice that. I don't think it is a culture thing. Which dialect says sorry instead of excuse me? Why say sorry when you never committed any offense? It is just lack of communication skill. I know of; "please". Most Nigerians uses that but, "sorry"? That is not a Nigerian thing but for half baked humans. |

Cause you fucking keep making mistakes. You should have learnt to correct all your mistakes before leaving for the outside world. They hate mistakes. If you don't learn to fix issues without mistakes then you aren't ready to live |

You're getting it all wrong bro. Listening is a good communication skill and you put it to use when you really want to take time to think out your response. It has got nothing to do with slavery. It's even makes sense because you are able to articulate your thoughts and by the time you're responding, it's with empathy and the right response that will de-escalate tense situations.

thesicilian:No, Africa and India is populated by indigenous people, i don't know what's making you say this, it's misinformation. Canada, New Zealand, Australia, America 🇺🇸 and even South America, are countries where the colonial masters choosed to live permanently without going back to Europe,. Same thing happened in South Africa, the Afrikaans are descendants of Dutch colonial masters who refused to go back to Europe and settled permanently in South Africa |
